Blackcloud Charters

Captain Ricky grew up fishing and hunting with his grandfather, developing an appreciation for the outdoors that quickly turned into a lifelong passion for fishing.

At just 13 years old, Ricky attended a Bassmaster University seminar where he learned from tournament anglers and became hooked on competitive bass fishing. He began competing with a local bass club before eventually moving into larger tournament circuits. Since 2015, Ricky has competed in Bassmaster and FLW Opens in addition to fishing local tournament trails.

Years of long days on the water and experience fishing different bodies of water across the country have helped Ricky develop the knowledge he now shares with his guests. Whether you're an advanced tournament angler looking to pick up a few new techniques or a beginner experiencing Florida bass fishing for the first time, Ricky is happy to tailor the day to your experience level.

Ricky holds a US Coast Guard 100-Ton Master license and is commercially insured. Above all, he's passionate about helping his guests enjoy the water, learn something new, and experience the wildlife and bass fishing...
